The City of Atlanta Department of City Planning is a government office focused on shaping sustainable and equitable growth for Atlanta. Its work spans mobility options, housing availability, neighborhood vitality, high-quality design in architecture and public spaces, preservation of historic resources, updated regulatory approaches, safer and more durable buildings, and proactive customer service and public engagement. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, the department serves city residents and stakeholders by guiding development decisions and policy to align with long-term planning goals. A key planning framework is The Atlanta City Design, unveiled in 2017, which provides guidance for future development and investments and shapes policy toward intentional design for the city. In 2026, authorities reported progress on citywide transportation operations through a new Integrated Command Center developed in partnership with Arcadis.
